CAAP says most of its airports resumed normal operations after Typhoon Uwan
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (Caap) reported no major damage to airports after Super Typhoon Uwan.
Initial inspections revealed limited damages to ceilings, roofs, glass panels, and perimeter fences, alongside temporary disruptions in power and connectivity in some facilities.
Most airports under Caap's jurisdiction have resumed normal operations, including Bicol International Airport, Masbate Airport, Naga Airport, Virac Airport, Daet Airport, and Cauayan Airport.
Baguio Airport has reopened, but flight suspensions persist due to poor visibility caused by heavy rains.
Operations remain temporarily suspended at Bulan, Bacon, Sangley, Plaridel, Iba, and Subic airports to allow for clearing operations.
Caap Director General Retired Lt. Gen. Raul Del Rosario commended the prompt response of airport personnel, emphasizing passenger safety as the highest priority.
Caap is working in line with directives from President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Acting Transportation Secretary Giovanni Lopez to ensure prompt repair of facilities and restoration of services.
